Ashes

Clay Aiken · Playlist - The Very Best Of [2009]

Someone told me

What doesn't kill you

Only Makes you

Stronger

Sets you free

From all that held you down



With all my heart

I believe

The end of burnin'

Was a dream

Deep in me

When everything went up

in flames



I still walked away



Turn around

And see what love's done for me

You would not believe

The way I used to be

So cold

Maybe love requires

Walkin' through the fire

To set me free

So I can rise up from the ashes



I was broken

A million pieces left to hold

I was frozen

My heart left out in the cold

Looking back I can see

How the voice of reason

Kept reminding me

I was never good enough

Somehow

Try and remind me now



Turn around

And see what love's done for me

You would not believe

The way I used to be

So cold

Maybe love requires

Walkin' through the fire

To set me free

So I can rise up from the ashes



Send it up in flames

Let it light the sky

Now that I know best

Found more to life



Turn around

And see what love's done for me

You would not believe

The way I used to be

So cold

Maybe love requires

Walkin' through the fire

To set me free

To set me free

To set me free

So I can rise up from the ashes



The ashes...



Rise up from



the ashes...
